Also, I find it interesting that everyone is giving the DL a pass. They are supposed to be the best unit in our team. I'm not going to panic, but it is disappointing to see them having a slow start.

Agreed. Of course
panicking because of a first pre-season game is over the top...
But:
-
-Oline is indeed concerning to some extent IMO, they only began to look decent when Cleveland took their 1s off the field...
-And yeah our starters on defense didn't look good either, especially, oh how surprising...*thunder rolls* the
middle of our defense ! (I feel like there's a specific name for that specific squad, but can't find it right now).
-No pressure early was also disappointing.
I only watched the 1st half so far, so I'll be looking for some more positives on young players in the 2nd half, but:
+
-I thought Sam Howell looked good, he had a couple of off throws, but he looked calm, and had a nice ball dropped by Bates early on
-Byron Pringle made a really nice catch late in the 2nd quarter
-Kamren Curl is playing physical already, he's gonna have a good seasons
